Compassion Focused Therapy

Developing our ‘compassionate mind’ can help us engage with, understand, tolerate, and regulate the difficult feelings and troublesome loops associated with our ‘threat-based minds’ (e.g. angry, anxious, self-critical). We can learn to be compassionate towards our feelings, rather than fighting them or trying to avoid them. This is similar to a form of desensitisation, with safeness and grounding in our compassionate mind.

​

We all have systems in the brain that make compassion possible, and by developing compassion we can organise our minds in different ways, with the aim of bringing our emotional systems into a helpful balance.
